tangut ideograph-185da

Tangut Character 185DA

𘗚 is a Tangut character; its meaning comes from the surrounding Tangut text, not its Unicode name. The Tangut script appears in records around 1036, when the Tangut-led Western Xia state used it for government and Buddhist texts; later dynasties used it for official, private, and religious writing. Scholars spell its reconstructed reading <i>djij²</i> or <i>de²</i>. Tangut writing shows Chinese and Khitan influence but is a separate script.
